Reviews

"An emotionally intelligent, brilliantly plotted and beautifully written examination of a very modern family that will keep you gripped until the end." Daily Mail, Books of the Year "Something of a moral fable about modern relationships, this is a smart and enjoyable story" Sunday Mirror "A moving read from one of our fave authors" Fabulous Mag, Sun on Sunday "The narrative dips back and forth with various points of view from stunningly drawn characters and I devoured it in one long sitting. Take this to the beach, or indeed anywhere - I promise you won't regret it." Daily Mail

Author description

Lisa Jewell had always planned to write her first book when she was fifty. In fact, she wrote it when she was twenty-seven and had just been made redundant from her job as a secretary. Inspired by Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, a book about young people just like her who lived in London, she wrote the first three chapters of what was to become her first novel, Ralph's Party. It went on to become the bestselling debut novel of 1998. Eleven bestselling novels later, she lives in London with her husband and their two daughters. Lisa writes every day in a local cafe where she can drink coffee, people-watch, and, without access to the internet, actually get some work done.
